Lec 16/17 Flashcards
Function of each lobe
Frontal: skeletal muscle movements
Parietal: somatic sensory cortex
Occipital: vision
Temporal: hearing
Primary motor cortex contain
Cell body of upper motor neurons
Upper motor neurons are part of
CNS
Axons of upper motor neurons will synapse in
Grey matter
Lower motor neurons are
PNS
Project to innervate skeletal muscle
Peripheral pathway consist of — lower motor neuron
1
Axon collateral of lower motor neuron will
Branch out at distal end and each collateral will synapse (neuromuscular junction) with 1 muscle fiber
Neuromuscular junction consist
Axon terminal
Motor end plate on muscle membrane
Schwann cell sheaths
Schwann cell function at NMJ
Secrete chemicals required for formation and maintenance of NMJ
Motor end plate
Specialized region of muscle membrane that contain high concentration of nicotinic ACH receptors
Lower motor neuron will release neurotransmitters (ACH) and
Muscle cell has NACHR
ACH is always excitatory
Nicotinic ACH receptor
Non selective cation channel
NACHR is non selective channel however
Na flow/flux is higher
In result cell will depolarize
ACH in NMJ is always
Excitatory
Muscle cell name
Muscle fiber
Cell membrane of muscle
Sarcolemma
Muscle cell cytoplasm
Sarcoplasm
Modified ER
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Muscle fascicle
Bundle of fibers
Skeletal muscle
Bundle of muscle fascicle
Epimysium
Connective tissue around skeletal muscle
Perimysium
Connective tissue around muscle fascicle
